How it works

Four steps, no commitment before the quote.

1

Send me your idea

Even if the idea is still vague, we shape it together. Write on WhatsApp or by email, I reply within 48h.

2

Send a photo of the wall

A photo and rough dimensions are enough. Tell me the city, the type of place, and whether the wall is indoors or outdoors.

3

Get a sketch and a quote

I send you a digital sketch over the photo of your wall, with a detailed quote. Free.

4

I paint the wall

From 150 € per sqm for a simple motif, more if the design is very detailed. We set the date together.

Practical questions before commissioning a mural

The questions that come up most often.

Can I see the design before saying yes ?

Yes. Before any agreement, Giulia shows you the project as an image on your own wall, with a detailed price. Several sketches are proposed to you before the project is confirmed.

What kind of mural works well in Rome ?

In Rome, many apartments in period palazzi have high ceilings and walls well suited to detailed designs or classic-style trompe-l'oeil. Everything is painted by hand in acrylic, with no wallpaper and no printing.

Does it damage the wall ?

No damage. Acrylic bonds to a painted or plastered wall, with no stripping and no heavy undercoat. And if you change your mind in ten years, a roller of paint covers it.

Rome between memory and everyday life

Here, a mural works when it dialogues with high ceilings, period palazzi, and a very dense urban fabric.

Homes and apartments

Living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, entrances, stairwells, and ceilings in the palazzi of the centre. Example: a living room wall of 8 sqm in a detailed design, around 2 000 €.

Hotels, restaurants, and offices

Boutique hotels, restaurants, shops, and offices, including in the EUR business district. In a market where competitors look alike, a mural is one of the few things that cannot be copied. Example: a boutique hotel wall of 12 sqm in a detailed design, around 3 000 €.

Facades and exterior walls

Hot, dry summers are the most favourable season for painting a facade. For a facade visible from the street, the owner's or the building association's approval is usually enough, plus a notice to the town hall in a protected zone, a common situation in the historic centre. From 150 € per sqm, plus scaffolding if needed.

A mural for this place

Rome is a city of historic palazzi, where many apartments in the centre still have high ceilings, marble floors, and period decoration. Requests come from elegant apartments, offices in the EUR district, and shops looking for a distinctive element. Hot, dry summers are the best season for exterior work. Giulia travels easily to paint: she comes on site to see the wall, or works first from photos and measurements.

Other spaces

Homes, hospitality spaces, portfolio, and nearby pages to explore.

Other cities

From Rome, the project can open toward these places.

Frequently asked questions about murals in Rome

How much does a mural cost in Rome ?

The price is per square metre: 150 € for a simple motif, 250 € for a detailed design, 350 € for trompe-l’oeil or a ceiling. A small mural in a bedroom costs less than a facade that needs preparation and scaffolding. The quote is free.

How long does it take ?

The time depends on the project: it is discussed together based on the wall and the subject. As a general guide, a simple motif takes less time than a very detailed design or a large surface.

Does a mural last outdoors in Rome ?

Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. Roman summers are hot and dry, the most favourable season for painting a facade. Work is avoided during extreme heatwaves.

Is permission needed to paint a facade ?

For an interior wall, no. For a facade visible from the street, you usually need the owner's or the building association's approval, and a notice to the town hall if the building is in a protected area, a common situation in Rome's historic centre. Giulia explains the process before starting.

Can a mural be changed or removed later ?

Yes. A mural painted in acrylic can be covered like any wall paint. It can also be reworked or extended later.
